I'm feeling very tired the past few days. I think stress has crept up on me and made me exhausted. The heat is not helping either. I'm always tired, lazy and uninspired to do a lot of writing.

The past few months have been a flurry of spending. Expenses for tuition, hospitalization, clinic rent and what not. I'm not spending yet for electricity but my brother is asking for help because the bill for this month is way beyond his capacity. We'll have to find ways to save, but how? We are not spending much more than necessary. There are also things we won't compromise on, and they're not even considered wants, but needs. Like my son's tuition. I want him in a good school. Or health. We can probably go with discount auto insurance, but definitely it's better to have insurance. Car repairs also crept in during the past few months because our cars are old.

Sometimes it's just so tiring when we always have to go around "chasing money" to live. The problem is that we don't have regular paychecks so we do not really know how much money we can expect at any given time, so it's not easy to do a budget when you don't know when and how much money is coming in.
